iCarly is an American teen sitcom created by Steve Molaro that aired on Disney Channel for four seasons from October 12, 2007 to January 6, 2012. The series centers on Carly Shay (portrayed by Demi Lovato), a teenager who creates her own web series with her friends Sam Perez (portrayed by Selena Gomez), Freddy Benson (portrayed by Tyler Steelman), and Duke Lubberman (portrayed by Doug Brochu). Carly lives in an apartment with her uncle Spencer Hochauser (portrayed by Brian Stepanek), an artist who has been unsuccessful with actually selling his artwork. Their next-door neighbor, Marissa Benson (portrayed by Mary Scheer) is the neurotic and overprotective mother of Freddy, whom she often treats like a baby.

iCarly was praised by critics, who fell in love with the show’s humor and the chemistry between the main cast, especially between Lovato and Gomez. The series was a smash hit for the network and became one of its most popular shows, even outnumbering previous hits such as Hannah Montana.

Production
Before the show premiered, in late-2006, a pilot was written for Nickelodeon. Titled “iCarly”, the pilot was not picked up because of changes in Nickelodeon’s management at the time.

It was announced on November 12, 2010 that the fourth season would temporarily halt production and would only resume if Demi Lovato made a full mental health recovery. Production resumed in April 2011 after Lovato announced a return to acting.
